New Tracks Weekend, February 20-22

It’s a huge weekend, with a lot to get to, much of it new to your ears. We kick off the festivities with the brilliant new single from Mumrunner, newly signed to Soliti and finalizing their first full EP. We’ll heavily feature pre-release sounds from both Echodrone and Venera 4. We’re pushing the new LP from A Place to Bury Strangers, the cripplingly beautiful new single from Pallow (and the crown jewel on their new Confined EP), the new singles from FUTURE, Manon Meurt, Morels, Star Tropics, FLVKE, Crystal Shipsss (sooooo good), Similarity, and the long-awaited return of The Spectors, with a proper master of the first track we played from them way back before electricity was harnessed. It’s amazeballs, and so worth the wait. We’re also heavily pushing the self-titled EP from Salsa Cinderella, which is pretty magical in its own right, and the new EP from Lazy Calm, which has a classic 4AD feel in spots. Add in Himmel, lovethislife, Blue Herons, Stellarscope, Swing Hero and Melted Toys, we win the radio.

8 pm Eastern, 5 pm Pacific, and continuing through Sunday at midnight Eastern, 9 Pacific. It’s the first weekend we’ll spin some of these tracks, and may be the last weekend for some others.
